Are the Big Brother psychologists getting more inane?

Or is Psychology genuinely as stupefyingly self-evident as they make it appear? Straight from the Professor of No Shit, this week: 'Nadia has had trouble sleeping... Her sleeping patterns have been broken ... These are clear signs of insomnia.' Really? Fuck, they don't give you a Psychology doctorate for nothing, do they? Some other penetrating insights last night into how 'exposed' and 'isolated' the housemates feel (what, on a reality TV show in which they're denied contact with their family and friends? I can hardly believe it); and that old chestnut about 'Stockholm syndrome' (in which hostages form attachments to their captors). I'm sure they've trotted out that one every series since the first one...

Lord knows what these psychologists would make of my latent desire to take Nadia up the arse in the middle of Brent Cross Shopping Centre

They'd probably have you down as a rapist, Martin.

Err, yeh, TMI, Martin...

mark s: LOL. The thing I also enjoy about the psychologists is the way they way 'this is what psychologists call 'x'....where 'x' is without fail some high-falutin synonym for 'gettting angry' or something...
